Associated Student Body held a pep rally on Sept. 7 in the quad at lunch to encourage Costa students to attend the first varsity home football game of the year.
The Mira Costa Marching Band played as it marched through the halls. Mira Costa’s cheer, song and dance teams also performed at the pep rally.
“It’s always fun to perform in front of the school,” freshman dance team member Jenny Gialketsis said.
Varsity football captains Josh Qerbash, Ryan Sweigart and Joey Markus spoke to the school about their upcoming game against Serra High School.
“Judging by the amount of people that showed up at the football game that night, I think the turn out at the pep rally really encouraged support for the football team,” sophomore song member Katie Watts said.
Students look forward to future pep rallies that will take place throughout the year.
“I thought it was really loud but at the same time fun and entertaining,” freshman Lucas Wilson said. “I hope there is another pep rally soon.”
Another pep rally will occur on Oct. 19 for the Homecoming football game against Palos Verdes Peninsula High School.
“The pep rally was a blast and a great start to the year,” ASB commissioner of entertainment Danielle Kay said.
